This election year continues with uncertainty regarding the extent of First Lady Michelle Obama’s participation in her husband’s reelection. Currently, Mrs. Obama continues efforts with her Let’s Move Campaign against childhood obesity that has partnered with The President’s Council for Physical Fitness and also partnered with other childhood obesity initiatives such as The Shape Up America Campaign led by childhood obesity expert Michael Torchia.
In continuing her efforts in this area, Mrs. Obama continues a traditional path of a first lady who focuses more service toward non-political charitable causes and transcending the rough-and-tumble world of politicking.
With this in mind, it is understandable to see how Mrs. Obama may not really want to relinquish her current charitable role in favor of a more political First Lady posture. This impulse was on display this past week in Michelle Obama’s frank interview with CBS’s This Morning where the First Lady revealed that, like any children, hers find their parents ‘not cool’ and that daughter Malia, 13, has her own cell phone in an attempt to live as normally as possible outside the political spotlight. Viewers didn’t have to read to hard between the lines to see that Mrs. Obama was likely projecting her own feelings onto her discussion of her children’s lessening appetite for the rigors and demands of political life.
How this ends up affecting the coming competitive race to save Barack Obama’s presidency will be an interesting sidebar to what will certainly be the most interesting story this year.
